RODI, low ph, co2, and effects on DI life

[Triggreef]

I've only recently learned that one reason for DI resin early depletion is from running water with low ph through your DI. I believe especially since my well water has a very low ph to begin with, that I have this problem and a lot of things make sense now. That said I'm just curious how many of you actually run your water into a holding tank to address the ph issue prior to it going through the DI resin. And if you do I'd love to see pictures of your set up and read about how you are completing the task.

I don't really feel like I have the space to setup a whole new holding tank next to my current set up. But it's something I feel like I might need to address.

I am also on well water with low ph. I'm interested to see what people have to say.

I actually built a degas tube to dump my ro water into. And i have a airpump bubbleing air thru it then it goes out to my di resin. I was buring up di every 40-50 gallons of water. Now i havent used any this whole year. I built it back in december.

Very cheap to build too alot cheaper than di!

Ill post pictures in a bit.

Sorry! Heres my pics!

Once the water comes thru my ro it goes to the bottom of my degass. I have a ap300 air pump running two airlines at the bottom thru two bubblers.
Then on the wye it drops back thru my resin then out to my trashcans.

Its been making water since the beginning of the year or late december of 2017 and i still have a 1/4 di resin left.

Before i built this i bought a extra set of di containers but i dont have anough head pressure to run all three. So im only using one.
